NEW Princess F55 Yacht (2022) Test Drive & Full Review | YachtBuyer
Вставка
- Опубліковано 22 лип 2024
- Is the Princess F55 all the boat you'll ever need? In this in-depth review and sea trial, we put this mid-size flybridge cruiser to the test in challenging conditions and discover whether it is the most rounded model in the Princess Yachts flybridge range.
The F55 could be the perfect sub-60ft owner-run cruising machine. It has three cabins with two doubles and a twin which can be converted to a double at the touch of a button and ample outdoor living space between the cockpit, flybridge and foredeck.
Twin Volvo Penta D13 800hp or 900hp engines on shaft drives provide 30-knot performance and feel comfortable at various cruising speeds.
Underneath the handsome exterior is an interior with an impressive amount of volume on both decks that is finished to Princess’s usual high standards.

Welcome back Jack with a Yacht Review Channel for the Digital age that actually shows a yacht in its natural environment and does not use a GoPro Camera to record the Exterior and Interiors and is actually tested in a maritime location
Thanks for watching, lots more to come! - Jack
Princess, are the company that decide FOR you that you are not allowed to have a tender garage in this size segment unless you also have an open boat. Galeon are the company that let you make the choice of tender/crew space for yourself, including models substantially smaller than this.
Glad to see you back , always enjoy your reviews , look forward to catching these and many more 😎
Thanks for watching! - Jack
I love the layout of Princess yachts! Simplicity and function with beautiful style. Probably my favourite brand among yachts.
Fab review of a fab boat. Princess never fails to impress and this is just lovely. I cant really think how this could be better and if I had the cash, this is where it would go.
A Williams 435 is huge for this size of boat, I'm surprised it even fits on the platform. Its 90 hp version weighs the same, 435 kg so its right at the limit of the platform. Honestly I think you've made a mistake, the F55 has a beam of 4.87 meters, and the 435 is 4.35 meters in length overall. At the final frame here in 4:51 you can almost see it straight from the rear.
The tender looks to be shorter than 4.35 meters, thats more than 0.52 meters difference to the beam of the boat, which in usable beam is of course much smaller so the tender if its a 435 should cover even more of the platform. Its probably a Williams 395. The Williams website's yacht fitment tool recommends the 345 and 325 Turbojet for this boat.
Comprehensive review Jack this size of boat is probably my favourite size.Easy to handle great comfort and very useable deck spaces
Great job as always Jack. I like seeing a proper review more than just a tour. Thanks for the info.
Thanks for watching! - Jack
Watched all your videos on new channel. This boat is the best, love it. Something that I think more flybridges will consider is a rolling soft top that just slides out and covers the flybridge. No covers needed. I could also seek to have the back of the boat have a cover so that it could be used in winter. Having to turn the generator on to raise the TV would do my head in.
Overall though love this boat.
Thanks for watching!
Very clean lines...looks like an ease to manage. Love the performance aspect of your videos.
I like the format you use, it's more real, enjoyable tour yet again, good job.
Thank you very much!
Loving the videos Jack, great to see the boats out on the water rather than just a walk around in the marina.
Thanks! - Jack
Nice to see you back. Great review as always, especially with the sea trial and clear pricing.
Thanks! I’m glad you like the format - Jack
I always like a Princess yacht, they just always get it right. 👍❤️🇬🇧
Princess - my favorite!
Hi MR Jack you make be proud of your videos.....say big HI to your camera Man❤
Great VIP cabin - looks really spacious for a 53’ hull.
Great tour of a really good boat. Lots to like here although I would like to see a bit more of the heads compartments.
Loving the new channel and the top line camera work and production values. It goes without saying that Jack is up there with the very best at this.
Thanks for the feedback and kind comments - Jack
Wow what a great video, keep em coming i love it
Glad you liked it, thanks for watching!
I just realized that this isn’t MB&Y 🤦! Glad you’re back at it, Jack. I have enjoyed your presentation’s for years 👍
Thanks for watching! Lots more to come - Jack
What a wonderfully and thorough review !!!! 😅
Thanks for watching Nicole, so happy you enjoyed it! 😀
nice job, you completely missed talking about the other features of the helm.
A very nice boat not sure if I like the light coloured wood but all round good layout thank you for your in-depth view.
Very welcome, thanks for watching 😀
Great review Jack. Liked the way you talked option prices on your Phantom review - it’s always been a mystery to me how much the extras cost. And like that you mention how features like the garage compare to other boats at the same price/size.
I’m glad you enjoyed the format, thanks for watching - Jack
so basically choose between having a tender or stabilization, why not offer fins that weigh much less than a gyro and are more effective at speed? (a gyro weighs close to a ton as is noisy)
Excellent boat from an excellent reviewr well done
Glad you enjoyed it!
Brilliant
F55 vs Manhattan 55. Your preference?
Classic vessel.
Do you Jack have a connection to 'Haines' British boats? Love to see you review one of there boat's in the New Year 2023. God bless you buddy!
I don’t! But I know the guys at Haines well so will see what we can do regarding a review - Jack
What is the cost in dollar?
I’m only just starting to take an interest in boats but I have been an audiophile for decades. One thing that does puzzle me from all the UA-cam boat reviews I have watched is why people who can afford new boats order them with Fusion music systems. As a previous Naim Audio equipment owner I know how high that company’s standing is within the audio community, and while I have never heard a Fusion system I am pretty sure it does not come even close to Naim in terms of sound quality. So why are Fusion music systems so ubiquitous on boats? The case for a marine relevant design argued on that company’s website is far from convincing, with the exception of placement of components on open deck.
Glass windows close to waterline is dangerous when docking
Teak decks are high mantainance
Absolutely no idea where the crewe cabin accommodation access is due to the way you edit the videos
Can you please do the new Princess V50? I will send you a present
We’ll add it to the list!
@@Yachtbuyer thanks! A test drive in particular
MAN diesel is better for indurance
Do like Nick Burnham and Hugo. Show the yacht not yourself. Learn to film by yourself. Show what you are talking about while you are filming it. Swallow ego.
Body in-shoot gives great perspective of space. You can’t get that with POV filming
@@adammazengarb7923 Absolute nonsense to film the person and not the yacht.
Well done Jack, great review and much more detailed than you used to do on MBY, looking forward to more from your new channel.
Thanks for watching, Keith! - Jack
